An amateur pianist joyfully plays for an audience with a new and exciting energy that drives her forward as she effortlessly creates an improvised piece without nerves or hesitation. She’s not sure how this happens but is excited by what it implies. These types of experiences are not uncommon in the world of the Alexander Technique. Students of the Alexander Technique frequently find themselves, with the aid of a teacher, performing beyond their own expectations, perceived limitations and previous experience.

  • An amateur pianist joyfully plays for an audience with a new and exciting energy that drives her forward as she effortlessly creates an improvised piece without nerves or hesitation. She’s not sure how this happens but is excited by what it implies. These types of experiences are not uncommon in the world of the Alexander Technique. Students of the Alexander Technique frequently find themselves, with the aid of a teacher, performing beyond their own expectations, perceived limitations and previous experience. How do we find our way to this fountain of effortless and masterful skill, and joy? What are some of the ways in which the Alexander Technique facilitates these experiences? Based on the aphorism of Marjorie Barstow “you don’t want to repeat the feeling, but the mental process”, I would like, in this essay, to discuss and explore some of the Alexandrian thinking which may lead musicians to these curious and treasured experiences.
